rajncajn Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Wondering which teams have real animals as mascots vs the dorks dressed up in costume. The Saints used to have a St Bernard named Gumbo, now they have a costume guy. I know the Bronco's & Seahawks have both, but I can't recall if any of the other teams have animals or not. American Football Conference Baltimore Ravens Buffalo Bills Cincinnati Bengals Cleveland Browns Denver Broncos - Both(Thunder) Houston Texans Indianapolis Colts Jacksonville Jaguars Kansas City Chiefs Miami Dolphins New England Patriots New York Jets Oakland Raiders Pittsburgh Steelers San Diego Chargers Tennessee Titans National Football Conference Arizona Cardinals Atlanta Falcons Carolina Panthers Chicago Bears Dallas Cowboys Detroit Lions Green Bay Packers Minnesota Vikings New Orleans Saints - costume only New York Giants Philadelphia Eagles San Francisco 49ers Seattle Seahawks - Both(name?) St. Louis Rams Tampa Bay Buccaneers Washington Redskins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pope Flick Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 The Bears used to have a guy dressed as a Bear on the sidelines, but that was YEARS ago. They brought him back recently, but there's an NFL film piece on the original guy on the "History of the Chicago Bears" DVD http://www.redpac.com/photo/pics/meandstaley.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wolf Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 The Jets do fly bys every now and again. They also have these four guys who run onto the field with flags. No animals, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cre8tiff Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 The Chefs have a raccoon-costumed guy. They used to have a dude dressed up as an indian. The Rams have perhaps the stoopidest looking costumed guy out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigrocks Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Pretty sure Miami is only costume..it would be hard to bring a dolphin into the stadium. Back in the early 70's a real dolphin was brought in for Miami games. He swam around in a big tank underneath the goal posts in the open (south/east) end of the old Orange Bowl. I remember watching him jump and flip around and if a ball was kicked through the uprights he would flip it back out with his tail. I think it became too expensive and troublesome, so they gave it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Trick Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 (edited) The Chefs have a raccoon-costumed guy. Its a Wolf Costume.............. racoon "K.C. Wolf is the official mascot of the NFL's Kansas City Chiefs. He was first introduced in 1989 replacing Warpaint, a horse ridden by a man in full Indian chief headdress. K.C. Wolf also appears at major and minor league baseball parks, community activities, conventions, grand openings, parades, and numerous other events. In the inaugural class of 2006, he became the first NFL mascot inducted into the Mascot Hall of Fame."

Don't be so certain of this. The local Steeler Fan Club president sent us an e-mail telling us about the Steeler's plans for a mascot in the upcoming season. Our local pres. is totally against it. I don't have a link to show you but I'm sure if you looked into this you would find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
